| 22.EASTERN IT GROUP :Loyalty Pays Sticking to D-Link, despite stiff competition from other networking
vendors, helped Eastern IT Group maintain a steady growth
With a turnover of Rs 104 crore, Kolkata-based Eastern IT Group registered a
modest growth, but hopes to improve this by clocking a 25 percent growth this
year. Most of its revenues, estimated at around 40 percent, came from D-Link,
for which the company is the distributor in the eastern region.
Besides D-Link, the other major vendor for the company is Cisco. Lead by JK
Baid, the Eastern IT Group comprises three business groups-Eastern Comnet,
Eastern Logica and Epitom Networks. Eastern Comnet, the flagship company got
into the distribution business over a decade ago and today is the one of the
biggest distributor for networking products in the East. Eastern Logica is more
inclined towards the retail business, while Epitom Networks is involved in
network integration. This again underlines the company focus on networking as a
business vertical.
Eastern IT offers the full range of networking products like switches, hubs,
routers, lease line modems, wireless bridges, VoIP gateways, IP camera, digital
home products, copper and fiber cabling range along with various other products
as a regional distributor.
One of the highlights of the last year for Eastern IT Group was its
partnership with Cyberoam in July as a regional distributor. It is hoping that
this relationship will reap a great reward as it complements its focus on
networking.
The company has got most of the leading networking vendors on its portfolio,
including Avaya. It also deals in several other brands like Valrack, HP,
Samsung, Intel etc. It was also keen on tying up with mobile accessories brands
like Jabra at one point of time though the interest seems to have died.
